wthr

A web app that allows you to enter an address and get back weather for that address.

Solution overview is here.

existing deployment

After the deadline I set up CI/CD to Heroku at https://pleaseallowmeto.helpyourteamlove.life

If you would like to try the app without dealing with local setup (documented below) you can just browse there.

If you want to prove this code == that site feel free to submit PRs and I'll approve. Also if you want to fork and set up your own site on heroku you could:

1. fork
2. create a heroku site
3. use heroku ACM to set up ssl
4. configure heroku app key and set it up as a secret
5. nit, but change the email in the deploy workflow which is hardcoded to mine.

installation prereqs

This is what I used, possibly other rails7 versions will work.

1. ruby 3.3.0 (2023-12-25 revision 5124f9ac75) [x86_64-darwin23]
2. rails 7.1.3.2
3. docker > 20.10.21

setup

To set up Redis using Docker containers, follow these steps:

1. Ensure Docker is Running
2. Run the Redis Setup Rake Task: bundle exec rake redis:setup

application installation steps

1. git clone [email protected]:rhelico/wthr.git
2. bundle install
3. rails tailwindcss:build

set up env

ok to use .env while developing

1. create env var for GOOGLE_GEOCODE_API_KEY - must have maps access and $
2. create env var for OPENWEATHERMAP_API_KEY - iirc it's free to start
